minutes-note

Add a note to the current recording or annotate a past meeting. Use whenever the user says "note that", "remember this", "mark this as important", "add a note about", "annotate the meeting", or wants to capture a thought during or after a recording. Plain text input — no markdown needed.

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by silverstein on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Minutes Note AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/silverstein/minutes.git /tmp/minutes
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/minutes/tooling/skills/goldens/claude/minutes-note .claude/skills/minutes-note

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Minutes Note in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Minutes Note on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Minutes Note is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

/minutes-note

Add a timestamped note during a recording, or annotate a past meeting.

During a recording

bash
# Add a note to the active recording (auto-timestamped)
minutes note "Alex wants monthly billing not annual billing"
minutes note "Case agreed — compromise at monthly billing for experiment"

Each note gets a timestamp matching the recording position (e.g., [4:23]). Notes feed into the LLM summarizer as high-priority context — the AI knows what you thought was important and weights those parts of the transcript more heavily in the summary.

After a meeting

bash
# Annotate an existing meeting file
minutes note "Follow-up: Alex confirmed via email on Mar 18" --meeting ~/meetings/2026-03-17-pricing-call.md

Appends to the ## Notes section of the meeting file with a date stamp.

Tips

Notes are plain text — just type what you're thinking, no formatting needed
Short notes work best: "pricing pushback" > "Alex expressed concerns about the current pricing structure and suggested..."
Notes are searchable via minutes search

Gotchas

Must have an active recording for live notes — minutes note "..." without --meeting requires a recording in progress. Check with minutes status first. If no recording is active, use --meeting <path> to annotate an existing file.
--meeting requires the full path — Use the exact path from minutes list or minutes search, e.g., --meeting ~/meetings/2026-03-17-pricing-call.md. Tab completion works.
Notes don't support markdown — The note content is plain text. Markdown formatting like **bold** or - lists will be stored literally, not rendered.
Quotes in notes need escaping — If your note contains quotes, wrap the whole thing in single quotes or escape them: minutes note 'Alex said "no way"'.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Minutes Note AI skill do?

Why use Minutes Note on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Minutes Note is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Minutes Note in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/silverstein/minutes/tree/main/tooling/skills/goldens/claude/minutes-note. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Minutes Note?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Minutes Note?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Minutes Note with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Minutes Note AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by silverstein under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
